UnifiedPlayers is a cooperative framework that jointly adapts planning, execution, and evaluation for tool-integrated reinforcement learning agents. It consists of a Planning Player that generates tasks, an Execution Player that creates multi-turn trajectories with Python tool calls, and an Evaluation Player that builds executable verifiers, all coordinated by role‑specific rewards under GRPO. The approach outperforms prior baselines on mathematical and general reasoning benchmarks and yields a verifier with high adversarial detection accuracy and more discriminative reward signals.

The paper introduces ICRL4AHT, a large-scale benchmark for evaluating In-Context Reinforcement Learning (ICRL) in Ad-Hoc Teamwork (AHT) scenarios using Overcooked-V2. It provides a diverse teammate suite, a reproducible pipeline, and evaluates history-conditioned ICRL algorithms such as Algorithm Distillation and Decision-Pretrained Transformer. The results show that these methods often perform worse than random baselines and do not improve with longer horizons, underscoring the difficulty of strategic inference under partial observability in AHT.

The paper introduces Imagine-then-Plan (ITP), a framework that lets agents learn by interacting with a learned world model to generate multi-step imagined trajectories. ITP features an adaptive lookahead mechanism that balances ultimate goals with task progress, producing richer signals about future outcomes. Experiments on various benchmarks show that ITP outperforms existing baselines, and analyses suggest the adaptive lookahead improves reasoning for complex tasks.

The paper introduces ROTATE, a regret-driven open‑ended training framework that jointly improves an Ad Hoc Teamwork (AHT) agent and an adversarial teammate generator. Unlike traditional two‑stage pipelines, ROTATE alternates between enhancing the agent and generating teammates that specifically probe its collaboration weaknesses. Experiments on Overcooked and Level‑Based Foraging show that ROTATE outperforms existing baselines on unseen teammates, setting a new benchmark for robust, generalizable teamwork.
